Yes, but hopefully it will be possible to provide the structure
definitions in some generic form, possibly by including another header
that has the platform-specific parts (such as ioctl numbers, __u64
definitions on Solaris, etc.)
It would be a shame if we had to duplicate the structure definitions 3
or more times.
